My first Scratch Extension

JGames101

I've been playing around with Scratch Extensions recently, and here's my first extension:
Basically, it's not very useful, but it was fun to make anyway.

<true :: extension>
<false :: extension>

So, because I'm a beginner at extensions, the only way to load it is to paste in the code into the console:

(function(ext) {
    // Cleanup function when the extension is unloaded
    ext._shutdown = function() {};
    // Status reporting code
    // Use this to report missing hardware, plugin or unsupported browser
    ext._getStatus = function() {
        return {status: 2, msg: 'Ready'};
    };
    ext.false_block = function() {
        return false;
    };
	
    ext.true_block = function() {
        return true;
    };
    // Block and block menu descriptions
    var descriptor = {
        blocks: [
            // Block type, block name, function name, param1 default value, param2 default value
            ['b', 'false', 'false_block'],
			['b', 'true', 'true_block'],
        ]
    };
    // Register the extension
    ScratchExtensions.register('Boolean Blocks by @JGames101', descriptor, ext);
})({});

And, yeah, it has comments that I used to develop it, because I've never written an extension before.
But anyway, thanks for reading, and please give me feedback on my extension that I made!

Good job! But the Scratch forums have messed up your code. Instead of using quote tags, you can use code tags (and these display the code in a monospace font so it's easier to read).

Okay, thanks! I'll fix that now.

You can use = to specify the language of the code:

[code=js]
if (variable == 42) {
    alert('hello world');
}
[/code]

↓

if (variable == 42) {
    alert('hello world');
}

Also you can use :: to set the type of blocks:

[scratchblocks]
block :: extension
[/scratchblocks]

↓

block :: extension

And submit the extension in the directory if you want. If you don't want to create a GitHub account, post the file on GitHub Gist

Thanks! As I said, I'm very new to making extensions, so this is very helpful.
